AUBURN HILLS, MICH. – Nuggets center Nene has a calf strain and won’t play tonight at Detroit. It was already determined that Kenyon Martin would sit out tonight because it’s the second game of a back-to-back. And so, Denver will start Shelden Williams and Al Harrington in the low post. Coach George Karl said that Martin will dress tonight and if there is a late-in-game situation where they could use Kenyon, Karl might throw him out there. Chris Andersen remains out, too (back and knee). J.R. Smith will play tonight – he was benched Tuesday for missing the shootaround.
